Hmm, it does match "-machine accel=kvm:tcg" and in general I think it's
more self-explanatory. However, it is indeed less friendly to scripts.
On one hand those could be changed to place "-accel xyz" after $* (or
better "$@"), on the other hand we could also add a priority option to
"-accel". What do you think?
